In an unfortunate turn of events, two people were electrocuted on Saturday morning in the Shakti Khand I pocket of Indirapuram in Ghaziabad, as per Ghaziabad police. The second person was trying to assist the first person who came in contact with an electric wire, as per the Ghaziabad police. The deceased have been identified as Suresh Kumar, a 45-year-old resident of Dadri in Gautam Budh Nagar, and Nakul Kumar, a 23-year-old resident of Muradnagar in Ghaziabad.
Two die of electrocution
Two people died after being electrocuted in Shaktikhand I pocket of Indirapuram. The two men, Suresh Kumar and Nakul Kumar, came in contact with a current flowing through an electric wire when they were arranging raw materials at around 7:30 am. While Suresh operated a dairy shipment Nakul was running a vegetable shop.
Yogendra Singh, the station house officer (SHO) of Indirapuram police station, said, “There are several shops in the area, and it was raining heavily on Saturday morning. Nakul had taken an electricity connection from a nearby shop, and the electric wire likely developed a fault. Nakul unintentionally made contact with it, and as he cried out for help, Suresh rushed to assist him without realizing the danger of the electric current. Tragically, they both were electrocuted in the process.”
Attempts to rescue
Those who were present in the vicinity tried to save the drug as they quickly disconnected the electric wire, but both victims had already passed away.
A close friend of Roshan Kumar revealed that Nakul jointly operated the shop with his father. “Nakul had recently brought a stock of vegetables and had placed them at an iron kiosk nearby. Somehow, due to the rain, the electric wire became live, leading to Nakul’s electrocution, followed by the dairy shop owner who rushed to his aid. Both succumbed to their injuries on the spot,” he said.
Naresh had recently gotten married on May 7, while Suresh lived alone.
